  • Courts act on facts not suspicions: Hussain Nawaz

    Hussain Nawaz Hussain Nawaz

    Hussain Nawaz, the son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, on Friday said that no court anywhere in the world acts merely on suspicion, rather action is taken on the basis of evidence.

    Talking to reporters outside the Federal Judicial Academy after appearing before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), Hussain Nawaz said the JIT would not find any evidence against him, as he had done nothing wrong. If some proof is found, then action should be taken and punishment must be given, he added.

    Responding to a question he said a CCTV camera is installed at the JIT's room.

    Answering a question about the JIT photo leak, he said that only the people who leaked it could give the reason for doing so.

    Hussain said that the photo was leaked against ethical and legal codes, and added that recording videos of the JIT's proceedings was akin to pressurizing witnesses appearing before it.

    He said that it was his fifth appearance before the JIT and he would appear again, if summoned, to abide by the law.

    While referring to his brother, Hassan Nawaz, he said that it was his personal decision not to speak to media following his appearances before the JIT.

    He said that he was thankful to all those who supported him during the appearances before the JIT, especially the workers who remained with him despite fasting. He also thanked all those people who prayed for him from their homes.

    Hussain Nawaz apprecaited the media for keeping the nation aware of the situation in spite of the hot weather and holy month of Ramazan.

    He said so far he had no intention to contest the general election.
